High Point police launch mental health emergency response program
Original: High Point police launch program to address mental health emergencies
Police in High Point, North Carolina have launched a new program to respond to mental health emergencies. The initiative is intended to give officers better tools and support when handling calls involving people in crisis, an approach a number of US cities have adopted in recent years to reduce confrontations and connect residents with care instead of arrest.
Why now: Communities and officials are increasingly focused on how police handle mental health crisis calls.
